Not because he’s gunning for a profit, but the box office collection to him equals to not enough people watching the film. Directed by the late Haniff Pitt, Coast Guard Malaysia: Ops Helang boasts several action-packed scenes such as the MMEA agents taking down criminals during an operation, and another of them handling the pirates who crash a private engagement party on an island that puts all the civilians present at risk.What sets this film apart from most present-day action films is the fact that the explosions showcased in it are real.
“We didn’t want to take outsiders because we were using actual guns in the film. Although they were not loaded, we wanted people who knew about handling guns to hold them,” the producer said. “The film is listed as one of the top three films in the current Malaysia movie chart. More importantly, I feel satisfied that members of the MMEA themselves were satisfied with the final product,” he added.Zubil said: “At the moment, there is no sequel. But if there was a sequel, there are many operations handled by MMEA that we can include in the next movie that the public do not know about.
